Sea Vegetables are considered power foods, they offer many health benefits for both humans as well as our animal companions.  They support the immune system, provide iodine, help prevent tumor growth, prevent heavy metal accumulations, support the thyroid and offer a host of other benefits when rotated into a healthy, balanced diet.

Here are just a few of the more common and readily available ones that can be used safely.  This is just a brief summary and more information can be obtained on each of these.  As with most things, more is not better.  Rotation of vitamins and supplements is important to ensure a proper balance is maintained.
